Untouched
He was forbidden magic wrapped in a mortal body. She was the spark that could burn him or save him. Of Fire and Shadow - Series Summary In a distant future, humanity has lost what once made it human. Souls are hollow. Emotions erased. The ancient walls dividing realms of Light (the Fae) and Shadow (the Demons) have collapsed, fusing time, worlds, and species into one fractured existence. To maintain control, the High Council outlawed the most dangerous force of all - feeling. Love, passion, grief, and joy are forbidden, declared the root of chaos that once ignited wars among realms. Peace was purchased through emptiness. Survival meant never truly living. But fate stirs in the gray between worlds. A woman named Samira, believing herself human, discovers she is the last royal of the Fae - a hidden ember of emotion in a world gone cold. When she crosses paths with Xalen, the ruthless King of Shadows, their connection awakens something long buried: desire, compassion, and the pulse of creation itself. Their forbidden love becomes the spark of rebellion - a rising storm to reclaim the right to feel, to live, and to love again. And once the soul of the world is reignited... nothing will ever be the same.
The Story of The Sun & Moon
One born to burn. One born to vanish. Two brothers fated to rise as gods... and fall as legends. Thirteen-year-old Arsene Zagros has always dreamed of the Day of Selection. Of standing beside his twin brother, of watching history unfold, of seeing the divine descend from the heavens to name their chosen. He never imagined that fate would arrive without a sound. Without mercy. Without warning. On the eve of celebration, something breaks. Something dies. And Arsene- smiling, curious, unaware- wakes into a world that feels the same... but isn't. In a realm where spirits haunt the night, where gods hide among mortals, and where the cost of destiny is more than just a name- a boy blessed with innocence will soon learn: Not all choices are seen. Not all guardians are ready. And not all stories begin with the truth. Author's Note: This is my first story and is based on a D&D campaign I've taken inspiration from long ago. If you enjoy fantasy, twin dynamics, and slow-burning mystery, I hope you'll give it a read. Feedback (and kindness) are always welcome :)

Ashes of Vengeance
Two warriors. One prophecy. And a love that could burn the world to the ground. They built the Trials to break her. She'll burn their empire instead.

Kael Draven was raised by the very system built to crush her. Bound by an Oath to watch, not interfere, Kael is meant to be her silent judge. But the longer he observes her, the harder it becomes to obey - and the more dangerous his loyalty becomes. As the Trials grow bloodier and whispers of a forbidden Vault awaken ancient fears, Nyra's survival is no longer about freedom. It's about vengeance. And she's done waiting for permission to rise.Complete
Echoes Beneath the Steel
⚠️ This story does not yet have a permanent title. It is not yet finished, I continue to add and change as I go This story contains darkness. Not the kind born from monsters or magic, but the kind born from people. Much of what you'll read is inspired by things I have lived through, things I have seen, and things I wish were not part of the real world. I write about cruelty because I know what it feels like to be powerless. I write about control because I know what it is to be silenced. I write about trauma because I know how long it clings to the skin and reshapes the bones beneath. And I write about survival because I learned it the hard way. In this book, the violence is not pretty. It is not heroic. It is not there to entertain. It exists because there are people in life who treat others the way the villains in this story do. There are systems that grind people down. There are leaders who demand obedience through fear. There are victims who endure far more than anyone should. I wanted to write a story that does not flinch away from that reality. I also wanted to write a story about what comes after. About the moment a person realizes the cage they were forced into is not the end of their story. About the slow return of self. About finding strength in places where only numbness lived. About reclaiming a life that was taken. This book may be difficult at times. It was difficult to write. But I hope, in the end, it is not the darkness you remember, but the rising. To those who have been hurt, controlled, belittled, broken, or silenced- this story is for you.
